WANDERERS OF THE WASTELAND 
From the film "Public Cowboy No.1" (1937)
(Felix Bernard / Paul Francis Webster)

Gene Autry (Film Soundtrack) - 1937


We are wanderers of the wasteland
My lop-eared mule, my broken-down horse and me
Always travellin' goin' nowhere
Across the plains and over the hills go we

When I was young (When I was young)
I used to be (I used to be)
A high-fallutin son-of-a-gun
Out in Wyomin'

I loved a gal (I loved a gal)
She loved my pal (She loved my pal)
So I packed my bag and saddled my nag
And then I started roamin'

Now we're only a lonely trio
Without a friend we trail along endlessly
Three old wanderers of the wasteland
My lop-eared mule, my broken-down horse and me
